12 Stones came together in 2000 in Mandeville, Louisiana, just north of New Orleans, and moved fast: within 15 months of meeting, the band had a deal with Wind-up Records. Singer Paul McCoy got an extra jolt of exposure when Evanescence brought him in as the featured voice on "Bring Me to Life" in 2003, a song that went on to win the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2004.
Hollywood and the wrestling world took a shine to them early. "My Life", from the self-titled debut, landed on the soundtrack of the 2002 film The Scorpion King; WWE picked "Broken" as its theme for the Judgment Day pay-per-view that May; and "Home" soundtracked a WWE video package for Kurt Angle. The band cut "Let Go" specially for the Daredevil soundtrack, and from Potter's Field, "Shadows" turned up in a trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest while "Photograph" went on the soundtrack to the 2005 film Elektra.
Anthem for the Underdog, in 2007, delivered "Lie to Me", alternative rock that goes straight for the jugular: heavy guitars, a pounding rhythm section and a chorus built for arenas, with McCoy's voice right on top.
